Stress Center Peer Support

Hello Stress centre friends. This was my last week at work. I finally after a lot stress and unhappiness quit my job, and no I do not have one lined up. I have sent out numerous resumes and I canstantly check the job postings. I am currently getting things sorted to return to university. Yes I have bills to pay but I felt I didn't have a choice. Crying before job cannot be the answer. There must be something out there for me. I do not want to depend on my hubby as I prefer to be independent. I felt I was losing myself in my job and my marriage, which I am currently sorting out. I am learning overtime that I second or last in my husbands life his family is first. But thats another job. The thought I am finally making my way back and this time around I will working on making myself happy not everyone around me. If it doesn't feel right I will no longer press the issue. My goal is to trust in God and try to eat well, exercise, and love my self more. I have no clue what the future holds but I refuse to live my life for other people I leave that mess to my husband.

Hi Future, I know you will get something. Sometimes we don't get something we were hoping for, and we come to find out something much better suited for us comes along.

I love this scripture, since you wrote that you are trusting in God, I thought I'd paste this to the message.

25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?

26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.

29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.

30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'

32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Matthew 6: 25-34

Hello Shif,

thank-you, thank-you for your kinds words. I am spiritual minded person so to read there words brings tears to my eyes. May God bless you for your kinds words. Today I went to service and and they read one of my favourite scriptures. May this scripture provide you with encouragement should you ever need it Phil 4:6 "Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanks-giving let your petitions be made known to God". Once again thank-you, I really appreciate it.

Those scriptures really helped me (I just posted about struggling). Thank you both for posting them. But I wish I really FELT it - felt some nudge or presence of God - just one little acknowledgement or sign from Him that He sees me and that I'm suffering but all there is is silence.

Sometimes I just don't "feel" it either. Do not be deceived though, it's not always a feeling.

I came to the Lord more from a knowledge and understanding of the scripture and I didn't have a bunch of feelings.

Some people have feelings, and that is okay, some don't and that is okay. It's the belief that counts, is what God teaches through the Bible:


Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness.
Genesis 15:6

No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.
John 16:27

This verse is also of comfort to me, as once I became a believer things would happen before me that I never asked or prayed for (I didn't even realize I needed them):

Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
Matthew 6:8

Future, thank you for that beautiful scripture verse.
